Identifying effective scenarios in distributionally robust stochastic programs with total variation distance

H Rahimian, G Bayraksan… - Mathematical Programming, 2019 - Springer
Traditional stochastic programs assume that the probability distribution of uncertainty is
known. However, in practice, the probability distribution oftentimes is not known or cannot be …

Computationally tractable counterparts of distributionally robust constraints on risk measures

K Postek, D den Hertog, B Melenberg - SIAM Review, 2016 - SIAM
In optimization problems appearing in fields such as economics, finance, or engineering, it is
